therecksays:ko_kyi: therecksays: Dude. Where in any reality has Monica EVER said she was coerced in ANY way?

She surely wasn't, nor do I care any more than any case where a leader diddles a subordinate. It is unprofessional and unethical. A few years prior to the scandal there was a harassment scandal involving Bob Packwood, and the talking head shows were full of outraged feminists saying that any sex when there is a power disparity is a form of rape. Then they were oddly silent about Lewinsky.

Back away from the rape comments.

Ok I can read just fine and also can understand nuance too. In the Packwood case the subordinants were the subject of unwelcomed sexual advances. In the Lewinsky case she was in to it. See the difference? Understand why that might not be a rape case? Do you understand what rape means? Fark why do I have to explain these things?

The point being made was that in previous cases the various women's groups came out against the powerful male for taking advantage of the young female subordinate but in this case because it was Clinton and he was supportive of their agenda they turned a blind eye or worse, blamed ML for the whole thing. It wasn't literally rape, but in previous instances the same type of situation was described as a type of rape similar to a teacher-student relationship where the person in power takes advantage of the dominant role they are in.
